Marcel & Odette - The Montmartre Couple
Marcel & Odette - The Montmartre Couple
Meet Marcel & Odette.
Marcel is a street artist in Montmartre. He has painted the same view of Sacré-Cœur for thirty years and still says it isn’t finished.
Odette sells flowers on the corner and pretends not to watch him work. She brings him a croissant every morning and tells him his painting needs more red.
He always adds more red.
Their motto: “Paris is always a good idea”.
A second life
Marcel began as a tomato sauce bottle and a mustard jar. Odette began as a vintage vase, a bowl and a flowerpot. Each piece was cleaned, assembled, hand-painted in many layers and sealed, turning objects with a past into two one-of-a-kind characters.

Details
Every piece is handmade by me in my Haarlem studio, so small variations in colour, shape and texture are part of its character.
Jewellery is made from polymer clay or resin, with hypoallergenic, gold-plated stainless steel fittings. Keep it away from water, perfume and creams, and store it separately to avoid scratches.
Character planters are made from repurposed ceramic and glass, sealed with waterproof varnish. Keep your plant in its plastic nursery pot and lift it out to water. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
